LAREDO, Texas – Texas A&M International men's soccer hosted Lone Star Conference rival St. Mary's on Wednesday night in non-conference action. At the end of the contest, which included a 30-minute weather delay, it was the Rattlers (5-3-0, 0-0-0 LSC) taking home the victory, 3-0 over the Dustdevils (2-5-1, 0-0-0 LSC).
It took a long feeling out process and back and forth momentum in the first half before anyone gained momentum, but it was St. Mary's doing so at 34:21 to take a 1-0 lead it would hold at halftime.
After the half, the Rattlers extended its lead to 2-0 at the 52:23 mark, scoring just before the 30-minute weather delay.
Less than 10 minutes of game time later, after the delay, St. Mary's netted its third tally to make the score 3-0 at 62:06.
TAMIU was outshot in the contest 13-8, and the Dustdevils put three shots on net, compared to the Rattlers six. St. Mary's also led in corner kicks at 10-2.
Sophomore
Gabriel Gacovicaj led the offense attempting four shots, while
Lassana Diakite (two shots, two shots on goal) and
